    Amazing game. I’m so glad that this came to PS Plus Extra/Premium, or else I might not have tried it. I didn’t put down the controller for about 6 hours the first time I played it. It’s full of heart, awesome abilities and physics-based gameplay, amazing soundtrack and adventuring. HIGHLY recommended.

    Wow. It is so, so rare that developers put so much heart into a game. From the music, story, and even to the visuals this game oozes genuine love. In a time where micro transitions rule the games industry, it’s nice just to have a simple game with almost all items available to earn in game. Takes me back.

    The game has the sweetest charm and the most heartwarming story, it’s respectful to the cultures it homages and the music is some of the best I’ve heard in an indie game! The gameplay of soul jumping never feels stale and is a creative form of locomotion and combat.

    Tchia is a beautiful game to sit down and explore for hours.
    There’s a lot of room for improvement which is a good thing when the first instalment into Awaceb’s small studio has already ticked many boxes that a lot of games don’t. Graphics: For its style it’s perfect, Zelda is the closest thing and I’d lean on BotW and Wind Waker the most.

    There’s a lot of room for improvement which is a good thing when the first instalment into Awaceb’s small studio has already ticked many boxes that a lot of games don’t. Graphics: For its style it’s perfect, Zelda is the closest thing and I’d lean on BotW and Wind Waker the most. The sea looks incredible and you can explore it in many ways. The raft is a one man Sea of Thieves pirate ship where you can drop your anchor at anytime, adjust your sail for speed and hop off and warp into a bunch of animals to go exploring or deep sea diving. The lighting is exceptional, seeing the sun illuminate the clouds in front of it in any location of each island is a sight to behold if you can kick back and be adventurous. Music score: Award worthy. The music is both true to the games feel and if you’re like me you can get lost in it so easily. It has the perfect blend of paradise and wonder mixed with a family party vibe depending on your location and activity you’re currently doing. I’d be more amazed if you haven’t already noticed it fits well and isn’t just a cheap gimmicky soundtrack thrown together unrelated to the games atmosphere.
    Innovation ideas: While BotW has new ways for combat and play style using the slate, Tchia has the ability to transform yourself into a number of items/ objects and animals to mimic their movements or if it’s an object then you can see how good the physics are. Room for improvement on some of these but still it’s a step in the right direction. Flying around as a bird exploring the islands is the best feature, I’m not too far in to say the soul jumping will later last as long as you want but I sure hope we can and also glide without a stamina bar too. That will keep me playing for longer if so.
    Enemies & Story: I am very early stages into the game but so far the gangs of enemies are easy to take out, the main bad guy had a great introduction and better than my favourite Little Big Planet game which was 2. It grabbed my attention even though he squashed a crab which got my back up a little after the loveable one from the trailers but I’ll get my revenge later on I’m sure. Currently I’m too engrossed swinging off trees/ flying around, climbing buildings and jumping off. I’ve got to go back for my trophies which I left at my house to play the claw machine. Im loving the customisable outfits which are plenty! More to come tomorrow and especially over the weekend when I have more downtime but I’m already practicing melodies for a cool video cut I’ll post at the weekend. Review Score: I feel Tchia deserves a solid 8, anything lower than a 7 comes down to subjective reviews but anything lower than a 5 isn’t appreciating the work that has gone into this game and it isn’t a broken mess. So 6+ review scores are low but believable, 7-8 is where it’s at. I would top it to a 9 simply for the awesome soundtrack and pure passion project this has clearly been. It’s been my most wanted game for a long time and I hope the team work on a sequel to this over Sifu/ Scorn or any other that Kepler their parent company has made. Tchia is the crown, Sifu is the wearer and Scorn… won’t ruin my review. 10/10 from me for pure hope that this game receives a follow up. I’ve downloaded for free via PS+ Extra and bought it to help the developers as much as I can. Yes I’m the guy on Twitter who’s been liking each post for 2 years now and to everyone on the Awaceb team my hats off to you!    … Expand

    Absolutely loved this game and all the collectables and challenges. The music is incredible, and the landscape is breathtaking.

    A game with a lot of soul and love put into it. It reminded me of the good old days of 3D platformers. The colors are vibrant and the lightning is very well done. It's a little short. I hope they make a sequel.

    Tchia is a mostly successful effort and well worth your time if you're looking for a calm open-world experience. Despite some moments that feel a little misjudged and leave a sour taste, the game is charming with a likeable atmosphere and fun gameplay. It might be a bit too large for what it offers and gets tiresome towards the end, but the first few hours are strong enough for me to recommend.

    Surprizingly good game!

    There are a couple of interesting mechanics, diving, gliding, sailing. The plot is interesting enough to keep player engaged for a dozen or so hours.

    Thanks for the team for bringing the exotic caledonian landscape into gaming.

    Es un juego con una gran personalidad, su diseño es hermoso, la jugabilidad es muy divertida, gran punto para Sony en darlo día 1 en el PlayStation Plus, ya que así llegará a más usuarios.

    This is an incredibly charming game. Beautiful world with an amazing soundtrack. I love the characters and the cultural inspiration. I expected Tchia to feel like a kiddie game but thankfully it doesn't. It's a wholesome game with a little darkness and humour to balance it out.

    Absolutely Gorgeous A bit of a slow start but once you get used to chaining soul cannons together you are flying all over the map.
    The story was darker than the visuals imply.
    Extremely relaxing game.

    Une merveille de jeu Indé.
    Tchia est fait avec le cœur et ça se sent.
    Un des jeux indé les plus rafraîchissant que j’ai pu faire jusqu’à aujourd’hui.
    Ce jeu est un appel au voyage.

    Out of the perspective, that this is an indie game, made by a small group of people: My expectations were high for this game before it even came out, but after playing it for a few hours, I have to say that it definitely exceeded everything I have thought about. The love and beauty that is inside it is just amazing, and I hope more people give it a shot, since it’s in the PS Plus Catalog anyway.

    What a lovely game! I'll admit, it's a little slow to start, and I could have done without so many rhythm sections, but this game is such a joy to play. Some of the other reviews decry this as 'just another BotW clone,' but only so far as it's open world and has a glider. Soul Jumping is the main mechanic and once you get the hang of it you won't even really use the glider anymore.What a lovely game!

    My only main gripe is that it's too short. There's a lot of good things going on here that are worth exploring more!    … Expand

    It's just gorgeous. I was expecting a small scale very small game with limited options (since it's from a small team) but instead I got a open-world where I can play as every animal and object I want, with beautiful storytelling, beautiful landscapes, multiple activities. And more importantly, you just feel GOOD when you play this.

    There's nothing this game doesn't do at least very well.
    The only grievance I had was about the framerate locked at 30 fps and it got fixed with a patch. and the game now runs at 60.
    For a first gale by a small studio this first try is nothing short of miraculous .

    Tchia is a great little indie game with lots of heart. At first the map can seem a bit overwhelming because you can't run, but once you realize you can "soul jump" into literally ANY object on the island and bounce all over the place, traversal becomes MUCH more satisfying!!! The music, atmosphere, and graphics are amazing for this indie title! Don't skip it!

    It’s like Breath of the Wild if it had way worse controls and an even worse frame rate. So glad this is the first day 1 PS+ exclusive since the mediocre Stray.

    This archipelago adventure is, in a word, lovely. While its open world can’t soul-jump out of making familiar wrong turns, we still enjoyed getting lost in it. [Issue#27, p.72]

    I was blown away by Tchia. I'm really glad I got the opportunity to play this incredible game, which has obviously been lovingly put together by an excellent team. There were one or two teething issues when I played Tchia, otherwise it was a flawless experience. Once I got into the game (which didn't take long), I became addicted thanks to the amazing open world gameplay and the story you eagerly get absorbed in. If you like games that has a bit of everything in it, such as exploration, music, collectibles and loads more, then Tchia is a great game to invest in.

    Few open worlds offer an experience as unique and different as Tchia, a game with a personality as overwhelming as its own world or the mechanics it proposes. Even with its flaws and technical aspects that can be improved, it is a game that deserves a chance, unless you are not into open world games.
